Went to Costco and found these single serving ready to go salads that are so delicious.

This deep conditioner is UNREAL. I kept stroking my hair without even realizing it because it was so soft and finally David said, “you have been stroking your hair for about an hour now.” lol

Who has seen OA on Netflix? If you have, David and I keep doing the 5 movements around the house and its hysterical.

Oh also the soups at Costco are sooo good. #notsponsoredbycostco #butiwishiwas

Me and David are watching Mean Girls right now and I love that I can write this and not look at the screen and still know exactly what is happening because I have seen it so many times.

I got these popsicles molds and have been making lots of fun pops for the kids. We have done fresh squeezed oj, acai, and smoothies. They are so cute! You have probably seen them on my snap. These molds are also cute.

I am on week 4 of BBG and started running out of things to do for HIIT and randomly remembered this blog post I did over FIVE years ago (have I really been blogging this long?) I always did this work out at the gym when David and I were dating and newly married. It is SUCH a good and fun work out! Try it next time at the gym, its a killer.

David and I signed up for the Haleiwa sprint triathlon!!!! We are doing it March 4th. I swam in high school and feel like I am still a fairly strong swimmer so I am not worried about that but I am nervous for the bike portion! Luckily its not too long. Also, they said you can use a beach cruiser if you want haha! I probably will be doing that. If you signed up too let me know! We can all do it together 🙂

My dad is so cute and went and hand delivered my Barefoot Blonde Hair orders made in Arizona yesterday! I thought that was so sweet. It was his idea. 🙂

All of the people we have met in Hawaii have been so amazing and so welcoming. Everyone makes such an effort to make sure people feel welcome and it is awesome.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!!! We are going to surf again this weekend and I am so excited. I surfed for my first time this last weekend with my sister in laws and it was AWESOME!!! I am obsessed. Will share pics soon!

Such cute pictures!! I met you last spring outside of Laduree in Soho after you had a baking day with your best friends! I love your passion for your family. I am trying to raise money for Childen’s Miracle Network through Dance Marathon at FSU, which makes it possible to babies to grow up healthy and happy, like Atticus and Rosie! Please visit my donation page to read more about my commitment to this cause, and to consider donating 🙂 God bless you and your beautiful family, Amber!! They are getting so grown up!!

I have discovered single serving salad kits at the local grocery store. I will buy one, portion it out into two bowls, add organic greens from the fridge and open a tiny can of tuna for the protein. My husband was surprised the finished dinner salad came from a kit! I will incorporate this ‘salad’ when we have soup or sandwiches for dinner!

I read about the leg cramps you get during pregnancy, and then I stumbled across this online: When you’re pregnant, leg cramps (among other things) are an unfortunate reality. They’re caused by the additional weight from carrying around a baby, changes in your circulation, and pressure that the baby may be placing on your nerves and blood vessels that go to your leg. How can you avoid these annoying cramps? Potassium and electrolytes! You can get these from eating bananas regularly and drinking lots of special electrolyte-filled water (which is recommended instead of sugary sports drinks). If you consume these two things, you shouldn’t get any leg cramps. But, if one happens to creep up on you, you should get up right away, stretch and massage the affected muscle. This will stop the cramps and allow you to get back to your day.

I can’t wait to one day travel to Hawaii! I’m o b s e s s e d with Hawaii 5-0 and I recognize so many places that you talk about just from the show!! It’s SUCH a gorgeous place! Also, I love your braid in these photos, WHICH are gorgeous by the way! I know Atticus and Rosie will love having all these amazing pictures with the two of you when they’re older!!

I am loving the 12 things style of post! They are so fun. I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a BBG post where you talk about the process. Are you doing it via the app? Did you buy the online book or the cookbook? Are you following her recipes are mainly sticking to your own? I’d love to learn more!

Hi Amber! You have such an amazing body! Im trying to loose weight but its so hard. Do you have any tips? How does you diet look like.. I would really appreciate an answer, it means a lot. Keep on rocking it! 😀

I know this sounds crazy…but a great, super economical Costco product is their Kirkland brand shampoo & conditioner. They are super moisturizing. I have the expensive stuff that I alternate in…but this is my go to. The bottles are over 33oz and are like $20 together. For that price, ya gotta give it a shot, right?!!

That is so sweet of your dad! Loving all the beach pictures and that this post has such a cute swimsuit-at a great price! Good luck getting ready for the race! I love seeing your snaps and those pops are so cute!

I’m in love with this suit! And I can actually afford it!!! 🙂 Thank you for sharing! Also- I would love to try some of your favorite smoothie recipes…I’m sure you get suggestions all of the time, but I thought I’d put in a plug for it anyway, I’m new to juicing and smoothie-making so would love some ideas!

Ha! Costco is like the Target of groceries!! Every time I go in, I feel like I need blinders! I absolutely love all their fresh fruit and acai stuff. Trader Joe’s is my other weakness and they have individual frozen packets of acai in their frozen section (not a well-known fact).

I LOVE all the beach pictures! Ughhh it’s giving me all the travel feels! It’s currently a blizzard where I live right now! :'( haha! Random question but what sunscreen have you found works best on your kiddos? I’ve tried a few products last summer on my son but I found most either too oily or didn’t provide proper coverage. Any advice?

Wow these pics are sooooooo pretty!!
And I love your 12 things posts – your positivty motivates me when I’m having a crappy day!
Aaand I love your swimsuits, I definitely need one for this summer! But how to find the perfect one?

Amber, you are a constant inspiration! I started my blog this year, and it is just so enjoyable. I am a high school teacher (this is my first year), but I have realized that writing brings me such joy. It’s also what got me through college, but it is so much more fun writing for enjoyment, now. Thank you for being an inspiration, and also I am in love with my barefootblonde hair! I have your extensions in melt my heart, and they look amazing!! You can check them out in my latest blog post 🙂

That swimsuit is fire! It’s amazing. I’m engaged and obsessed with anything and everything white 🙂 I have been in desperate need of a deep conditioner, so THANK YOU I am going to try this one! Good luck with the triathlon it sounds so so amazing!
